Outcast: The Alpha King’s Beloved

Jennifer’s POV:
Last night, I slept over at Anthony’s residence again.
When we woke up the next morning, we had breakfast together.
But before going to the training ground, I wanted to go to the hospital to check on Skylar.
I led Anthony to her ward.
Just when I was about to enter the room, I saw a shocking scene.
Oh my God! Skylar and my brother were lying together in the bed, and he had his arms around her.
They were sleeping soundly.
My eyes did not deceive me.
I hurriedly gestured for Anthony not to make any noise.
We backed out of the ward in silence.
Once we left the hospital, I smiled and said, “Anthony, I never thought I’d see the day when my brother would find love.”
“I guess he has come to like Skylar that much.”
“And that’s a good thing! I can stop worrying about him now that he has found his mate.Skylar is my best friend, and now, she
just may be my future sister-in-law.I’m really happy to see her and my brother getting along.”
“Jennifer, our relationship will also only get better from now on.”Anthony patted my head.
“I believe you, Anthony.”I smiled shyly.
“Jennifer, go ahead to the training ground.There is something I have to deal with.If I’m free later, I’ll drop by to check on you.”
Anthony looked at his watch before bidding me goodbye.
After one more hug, we parted ways.

When I arrived at the training ground, I was surprised to see that we had a guest.
Caroline was also at the training ground, chatting with several trainees.
“Good morning, Miss Wilson,”I greeted her.
“Jennifer! You’re here.”Caroline grabbed my hands enthusiastically.
“I heard that you are the best trainee here.Can we train together today? Carson has already given his permission.I just want
to spar with you to check how strong you are.”
I did not want to spar with her but if Carson had already agreed, I had no choice but to accept the princess’s request.
Caroline and I sparred while the rest of the trainees watched from the sidelines.
Highly aware that Caroline was a princess, I did my best not to hurt her.
I pulled my punches so that she wouldn’t get injured.
After a few rounds of exchanging fists and kicks, I noticed that Caroline was quite good at dodging my attacks.
Controlling my strength, I threw another punch her way.
To my surprise, she didn’t dodge this time.
When my fist made contact with her chest, she groaned and fell to the ground.
I was stunned.
I didn’t even hit her that hard.
Why did she collapse so easily? It was a bit suspicious how Caroline failed to dodge that last punch when she was clearly
adept at defending herself.
I didn’t think much of it until Caroline exaggerated her reaction.
Covering her chest with her hands, she limped to her feet and whimpered as if she could faint any second.
“Jennifer, I just wanted a friendly spar with you.

Why did you have to hit me so hard?”
Caroline looked at me like a hurt puppy.
“I wanted us to be friends.I trusted you...”
“But I held back when I threw that last punch.I expected you to dodge considering your abilities,” I explained patiently.
Meanwhile, several she-wolves came forward to support Caroline and curry favor with her.
“Miss Wilson, are you okay? How dare Jennifer hurt you?”
“Miss Wilson, we all saw what happened.Jennifer hurt you on purpose.You should punish her for it.”
“Sir, Miss Wilson is not in good condition.We should bring her to the infirmary right away!”
So Caroline was escorted to the infirmary by a group of she-wolves.
I followed after them, keeping an eye on Caroline.
Although I knew that I was innocent, I would definitely be blamed if Caroline ended up with a serious injury.
Along the way, the she-wolves continued to complain about me.
“Jennifer is such a bitch! How dare she hit Miss Wilson?”
“She must think she’s all that just because she has the prince’s support.”
“She’s probably just jealous of Miss Wilson.
Well, she’s doomed for hurting Miss Wilson.”
I stood by the door of the infirmary, listening to the she wolves blaming me.
I did not know what to do.
I wanted to defend myself, but Caroline was injured.
No matter what I said, it seemed unlikely that any of them would believe me.

It was upsetting.Not long after, Anthony arrived at the infirmary.
He quickly learned about what had happened and ordered the doctor to tend to Caroline’s injury.
Caroline looked up at him with tears in her eyes.
“Anthony, I don’t know why Jennifer hit me...”
“I know Jennifer.She didn’t do it on purpose.Besides, it’s normal for people to get hurt during training.It seems that your injury
is not serious, Caroline.You’ll recover in no time.From now on, don’t spar with Jennifer anymore, okay? You are no match for
her.”
Anthony patted Caroline on her shoulder.
“Get some rest.”
I looked at Anthony, grateful for his protection.
He knew me so well, and he always arrived in time to help me.
Outside the infirmary, the she-wolves continued to chatter among themselves.
Anthony scolded them.
“This is all a misunderstanding.Jennifer didn’t mean to hurt Caroline.If anyone dares to spread rumors about it, you may see
yourself off Marge Island.”
Everyone shut their mouth, not wanting to defy the prince.
Even Caroline had nothing to say to that.
I felt relieved.
